Notes

Mastering notes:
- There are a number of bursts of wind noise throughout. I have been able to remove some of these completely, and the impact of what remains has been reduced.
- It appears that the tape was stopped between some songs, I have crossfaded to smooth these spots.
- (1) there is a cut at 12:56 and an unknown amount missing at the end, I
crossfaded to smooth the cut
(2) unknown amount missing at start
(3) large pop removed in left channel, at 1:45, by copying in right channel, so the sound is briefly in mono
- Editing with Adobe Audition, Sony Soundforge and Steinberg Wavelab (with iZotope Ozone, Waves X-Crackle & X-Noise)
- Downsampled to 16/44.1 with Wavelab and dithered with iZotope Ozone (MBIT+ setting)
- Tracked with CD Wave and flacs encoded with Flac Frontend

Comments:
- * As the song starts Weir says "Tomorrow's Sunday, we're not gonna be here, so we're going to take advantage of today to give you some inspirational words of advice."
- Deadicated to RET, he would have revelled in this Terrapin!
